I've had the privilege of using a merely 90Hz display and the difference is still incredible. It gives me input feedback much faster so my brain does not have to do as much buffering/prediction, everything feels a lot more direct. One would think a measly 5 milliseconds wouldn't amount to much, but for input feedback it absolutely does.

I do not suffer from nausea or motion sickness of any kind arising from computers or visuals in general, but I can still easily tell the difference between a 60Hz and 90Hz display. A few months ago I had the privilege of checking out the 120Hz displays on the new MacBooks and they're amazing.

Filters and auxiliary filters also do that, but Linux doesn't support them well, which is really sad because they make for a very neat system.
There's also an epidemic of kids not listening to the radio, but nobody has questions about why.
Both quality and quantity matter. Bad drivers can make traffic anytime, but if you a good driver leave the house at 5PM you are traffic.
Agreed. While I have concerns regarding RCS, Apple's refusal to make iMessage an open platform due to customer lock-in is ridiculous and anti-competitive.
Is there even such a thing as "English hexameters"? From what I remember from high school hexameter is based on the feature of the Greek language having both "short" and "long" vowels, which is then used to create a particular rhythm. My mother's tongue does not have such feature which makes it impossible to make real hexameters in it. Translations do not even try to imitate it.

Which is exactly why he pretends to not be a wannabe replacement, as it is politically incorrect to have the chair of ISO C++ to also propose a C++ replacement.

CFront wasn't C, nor Objective-C was C, even though both originally started as macro preprocessors targeting C code generation, and were like Typescript for C.

They became their own thing, after enough user based was won, and nowadays all major C compilers and standard libraries are written in C++, not C.
Google operates in China albeit via their HK domain.

The lesser of two evils is that one company doesn’t try to actively profile me (in order for their ads business to be better) with every piece of data it can find and forces me to share all possible data with them.

Google is famously known to kill apps that are good and used by customers: https://killedbygoogle.com/

As for the subpar apps: there is a massive difference between the network traffic when on the Home Screen between iOS and Android.
Slightly different approach, but appears to have the same overarching goals: https://github.com/bullet-train-co/magic_test

„Magic Test allows you to write Rails system tests interactively through a combination of trial-and-error in a debugger session and also just simple clicking around in the application being tested, all without the slowness of constantly restarting the testing environment.“

I will keep an eye on both now, probably they will compliment each other at some point in time.
Its not an argument, just ask why people lust after the latest iPhones in poor countries. They do it because they see rich people owning them. Unless you experience that, you won't really understand it.

“Defects: Having to discard or rework a product due to earlier defective work or components results in additional cost and delays.”

In TPS and Lean, you’re expected to build quality in. So, while fixing bugs is necessary, it’s considered a type of waste, to be eliminated by building software without bugs.
How is local more private? Whether AI runs on my phone or in a data center I still have to trust third parties to respect my data. That leaves only latency and connectivity as possible reasons to wish for endpoint AI.
If you actually listened to what she said you'd know that's not at all what was decided, all they decided was that SA has plausible standing to bring a case. Not that the case itself has any standing. That was left for a future decision.

Sure but that was backed off. The law does not, in fact, apply to all books with LGBT content regardless of what they contain. There was a March 2024 legal settlement clarifying many cases that are explicitly not prohibited.

Also, do you think these laws have been important regarding the "decline by 9" of 9-year olds reading for enjoyment?

One possible issue on the contrary side is promotion of kids' books involving racial diversity themes. Often such moralizing books are not very interesting for pure entertainment value. They are there to meet a market trend, some may be better than others but in general have not stood the test of time.
Won't the CO2 make the water acidic?
The problem is that the candidate has been assured that they will be asked 'leet' code questions where solving the problem isn't enough, they will also be asked about O notation and how the code can be optimized and whether to use memoization or recursion. This is what the books will tell you, this is what YouTube will tell you, this is what 'helpful' recruiters will tell you.

And IME this is what most interviewers have been taught. They've got a list of sample questions, they've been told that if they give the knapsack problem and the interviewee doesn't immediately call out 'dynamic programming' than the interviewee is a pass.

If you only want to see working code than you are the exception rather than the rule.
Well, my few dozen attempts failed to get anything that looks like a face.

Does anyone have a successful example?
I understand your general point, but these solutions are not niche. They cover almost everything needed in web dev. The niche problems are the ones that arise at scale, which is when a business typically has the resources to solve them. (Hint: you don't have to solve them in Rails).

Large app / company challenges don't apply to new apps. Statements like "I wouldn't start a new app without a great concurrency story." or "I wouldn't start a new app without microservices." etc don't make sense, because new apps have different priorities (i.e. finding the fit, surviving, staying relevant).

I went through a phase of building Elixir/Phoenix apps for 3 years, thinking that I will switch permanently, but ended up coming back to Rails due to higher productivity in that stack. This was in 2015-2018, so maybe Elixir/Phoenix has gotten more ergonomic since. I'm not sure.
Google has also been working on (and provides kits for) local machine learning on mobile devices... and they run on both iOS and Android. The Gemini App does send data in to Google for learning, but even that you can opt out of.

Apple's definitely pulling a "Heinz" move with privacy, and it is true that they're doing a better job of it overall, but Google's not completely horrible either.
I just decided that the function keys and right Alt plus a key would be mine to bind to whatever I wanted. I am using a program called Clavier+ on Windows, and some transparent keycaps for labels for function keys. I press F1 for an AI, and Right Alt + E for text editor for example.

There's nothing wrong with the name cold brew. It describes the difference from "standard" coffee. It is the charlatans selling warm brew over ice that devalue it.

As someone that greatly prefers coffee brewed cold and served on ice, I hope it doesn't fade away, because without it I have a lot less reason to get coffee out as opposed to at home.
Or you could use a (quite affordable) ultrasonic machine designed for gentle cleaning of jewelry, dentures, glasses..

I've used one to extract fragrance from biological material for an artistic project[0], and it worked really well. Instead of having to wait for a few weeks for a tincture to finish, you put the same tincture (alcohol and material you want to extract fragrance from) into a plastic bag for just 15 minutes. Sure, it smells not quite the same, but the speed is often worth it. I've even heard about some guy trying to turn vodka into whiskey with an ultrasonic machine and wood chips.

There are quite a few ultrasonic machines on the market. I've tried EMAG and multiple Chinese no-name machines that are just as powerful but cheaper. Sadly the no-name machines are quite a bit louder - you can't stay in the same room while it's running basically. Still, they all work well for this kind of fast and dirty extraction.

Ca 2013 was the release of the Nexus 5, arguably the first really usable android smartphone.

Privacy wasn’t really a concern because most people didn’t have the privacy eroding device yet. In the years following the Nexus 5 is where smartphones went into geometric growth and the slow realization of the privacy nightmare became apparent

Imho I was really excited to get a Nexus 4 at the time, just a few short years later the shine wore off and I was horrified at the smartphone enabled future. And I have a 40 year background in computers and understand them better than 99 out of 100 users – if I didn’t see it, I can’t blame them either

First few employees at Google? Stanford yes because that's where they got the business/investment connections. Clearly, because L&S both came from that background as did family, and the whole Susan W's garage thing, etc. etc.

After that? Actually building the thing? Not really?

Jeff Dean:

University of Minnesota, B.S. Computer Science and Engineering (1990)
University of Washington, Ph.D. Computer Science (1996)

Tho I guess Sanjay was more "ivy league" (correct me where I'm off thing, I'm Canadian and don't understand the American obsession with "brand name" on schools):

Cornell University (SB, 1987)
MIT (SM, 1990; PhD, 1995)

I guess Urs was Stanford, though.

But I would insist that 1996 is a lot different from 2024.

And, honestly, pardon me, but YCombinator isn't funding the next Google. They're trying to fund the next Uber or whatever. I don't get the impression they have the guts to invest in kind of long-play deep tech infrastructure like a Google. It all seems like "X but for Y" Web2.0ish companies.
Good to know that refs and atoms are not safe to use in virtual threads. I would have definitely found that out the hard way since atoms are so simple to use.
Yes is it completely clear. My guess is they do something like "Siri-powered shortcuts". Where you can ask it to do a couple things and it'll dynamically create a script and execute it.

I can see a smaller model trained to do that may work well enough, however, I've never seen any real working examples of this work, that rabit device is heading in that direction, but it's mostly vaporware now.
You're right, its not 19 hours claimed. It was more than even that.

> HP gave the 13-inch HP Spectre x360 an absurd 22.5 hours of estimated battery life, while our real-world test results showed that the laptop could last for 12 hours and 7 minutes.
It's actually come a long way. The workflow is still… sub-optimal, but there are some really nice terminal apps (LaTerminal, Prompt, ShellFish, iSH) which are functional too. Working Copy is pretty dope for working with git once you get you adapt to it.

I do most of my dev on a Pi5 now, so actually working on the iPad is not that difficult.

If they ever release Xcode for iPadOS that would be a true gamechanger.
Very insightful and accurate take IMHO.
I have also ended up with Home-Manager. It's an extremely powerful tool that I am unlikely to replace in the next ten or so years, but you also need to learn a whole programming language (Nix) plus a DSL (the NixOS module system) to get the most out of it.

On the upside: you do get a whole purpose-build language for configuring your system, piecing together your configurations dynamically, installing your packages and so much more.

Ability to install packages is another huge thing. Home-Manager does not just configure my tools, it also installs them (including my DE), so I can get started with my custom config on a new system in a matter of minutes.

Well, yeah, compared to today it's not great but no one had tried anything like that before. They delayed the sound to distant speakers with tape delay. It's cool as shit and was the groundwork for how we do things today.

The new law (among other things) applies to commercial entities with a website in the Georgian language and their own domain name.

I won't believe this is a problem at all until seeing actual photos. I've seen people on here complaining how light pollution is 'ruining our beautiful skies' because stars aren't as clear inside a massive city.
Just look at this guy's comment history, it's all there. He denies Jewish history, erases the reality that Jews are undeniably linked to Israel and calls for the ethnic cleansing of Jews from the ME. All the while making spurious unfounded accusations against Jews. I engaged with him for a long time, but ultimately found him to be dishonest and not interested in holding a critical curious discussion.
There aren’t any spaces left to take your kid to look at books. Without access to internet the only option is the public library but books there are often not displayed in a way that would draw new readers in
This is a Boeing specific problem. Boeing does things which no other company would dare doing, the failure on engineering the MAX is simply inexcusable. The same goes for the failure to correctly plug a door. These things don't happen by chance, they can only happen if you have a deep institutional rot in your organization. These things don't happen by chance, because the systems are designed in a way such that they can never happen. If they do happen the system has failed.

The entire airline industry knows that if you are lax on safety critical issues, there will be consequences. The consequences over the last few years have focused on Boeing, because it actually is a Boeing problem.
Great explanation, just last week I was explaining these concepts to a new dev in our team. The visuals are really helpful to get the point across.
The article includes a link to the paper, which has simulation models of the acoustics, showing pressure levels and areas where cavitation can occur. (I didn't see anything about heating from dissipating the acoustic energy, though?)
UPDATE: As Onawa points out in his comment below, the OP is showing benchmarks.

I couldn't find any mention of model performance on standard benchmarks, nor any mention of model scale (number of parameters, MoE setup, etc.).

How come? Does Amazon not want customers to know how much better/worse, or much larger/smaller, this model is compared to other models, proprietary and open?
I feel like this is "solving" a problem that doesn't exist in good workflows. How often are you pulling from a shared branch that you are making local commits to? Each of the people in the video should be branching off main and doing pull requests to get back into main.
That's what "direct binding" is. And as you can see, Linux doesn't support it.
If you can run AI in airplane mode, you are not trusting any third party, at least until you reconnect to the Internet. Even if the model was malware, it wouldn’t be able to exfiltrate any data prior to reconnecting.

You’re trusting the third party at training time, to build the model. But you’re not trusting it at inference time (or at least, you don’t have to, since you can airgap inference).
We’re so sorry, nuclear fusion is experiencing high latency and packet loss. Please try again in $(10 RANDOM %100) years.
Yeah, there are still a lot of dissolved coffee solids in cold brew that get further extracted if heated. There are also a lot of volatile compounds that break down when heated. The idea that you can just reheat coffee, even cold brew and have it taste the same is just ridiculous.
This highlights a problem with comments that decry the inability of the United States to produce cheap, desirable electric vehicles the way that, say, byd can. There are a lot of reasons for this but a very significant one is that our 2013 skies didn't look like those pictured in the accompanying article. They may have 100 years ago, on a far smaller scale, and this complicates criticism.
I know that using a raspberry pi is not where you run projects that take massive resources, but does using the VNC protocol give you good enough performance? Was really hoping that they had come up with a solution that works very well on the pi, which of course means it would run amazing on desktop machines.

You must be very young.

My experience of the Kansas City tram is that everyone uses it, if they're already downtown. Admittedly I only see KC for ~5 days per year but I get the impression it's well handled. The city has changed beyond recognition in the 13 years I've been going.
Why would we want less competition? I can’t understand this sentiment.
Pretty much my thoughts too. Going to have a model that’s smaller than 3B built in. The’ll have tokens that directly represent functions / shortcuts.
Exactly. One simple example that I see all the time comes to mind:

In English, "dozens of ____s" is a very common expression, particularly in news articles. In my local language, even though we do have a word for "dozen", it's much more common to say that in the form of "tens of ____s". Most of the "dozens of ____s" I see written in my language are from news articles that were (badly) translated from English.
Just based on reading TFA, I doubt it since the ACE apparently relies on getting to the kill screen in the first place. Imagine if OoT's ACE was triggered by the end credits rolling; you can't improve your times with it because it only happens after completing a run successfully.
(I assume you're aware, but for the larger audience)... the grateful released an album "Two From the Vault" which was a soundboard recording... but the original soundboard had huge phase cancellation errors due to microphone placement. To recover it, some 20+ years later, with digital tech, the sound engineers could recover the original signal using some clever FFT and phasing very similar to what you describe modern secondary arrays use to self-tune.
Here's a fun one. I'm involved in maintaining the audio system for an auditorium used by a non-profit. After a flood and remodel, including replacing some audio components (like microphones), it was observed that the microphone on the main podium always had a 60 Hz hum. The hum depended on where the microphone was facing. Sometimes it was there, sometimes it was not.

Being a non-profit facility, there are no fancy DSPs to notch out the hum or anything like that, so more creative solutions were investigated. It was determined through dumb experimentation that orienting an identical microphone 180 degrees to the one with the hum and setting the gain similarly would nearly eliminate the hum.

Eventually, the working theory became that a relatively new large pad transformer installed across the street was being picked up by the microphones.
Orienting one microphone 180 degrees from the other caused the hum to be picked up out of phase from the main, and thus could be mixed in to cancel out the main mic hum.

Ultimately the real solution was simply buying better microphones, but there was a period of some months while a microphone sat off stage, pointed backwards.

I'm not op, but I have had to do this a few times because of the same reasons. You pause, take a breath and kindly say "thank you for the opportunity, but at this time I don't think this is the right fit" and leave it at that. No need to embellish, or add extraneous detail or think you're being awkward because they will do the same thing if they don't want to go further in the process with you. It's just business, treat it as such.
I didn't spend a lot of time. It is a new account. I logged in again just now to check.

You are right. Lean community had about 3K unread messages for me. After I marked a whole bunch read, and clicked around a bit, speed is now good.

Thanks for making me check.

My only other feedback would be that there is a new user "tutorial" or rather the interface highlights certain aspects of the UI for the new user. The bubbles that pop up for this, are too small and not noticeable on a dark theme. Make them bigger and different color.

Offices have ventilation. They are usually more densely manned than apartments.

Unless they specifically tear it down during redevelopment (why would they?), there should be plenty of air circulation.
Plus the fact that the commercial space that's being converted was often used for this sort of thing already anyway. Yes, this is mostly office space, but many engineering firms have an electronics lab or small prototyping workshop in their "office" space.
I suspect that many quietly effective employees are doing something like that, and that it is a smart way to increase the performance of yourself and your team.

I also suspect that it is not possible to share the metrics, and that you would need to do "parallel construction" to justify your decisions without revealing your real methodology.
The british and French assumed the germans were going to swing though belgium again as they had done in WW1. Also they spread their tanks out as infantry support the germans had concentrated tank units.
